GOD, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR ORDER Welcome Friends! For over 164 years, the Patriotic Order Sons of America has been dedicated to preserving Patriotism in the United States of America. Patriotism means a devoted Love for one's country.
Washington Camp #523 of Eagleville Pennsylvania was chartered September 19,1901. Washington Camp #523 has had the great honor of having two of its Brothers serve as PA State President in the history of the Order: H.Taylor Pugh 1957-1958 and Stanley R. Sarnocinski, Jr. 2010-2011
Mr. Sarnocinski is now the new Inspector in the National Camp.
Washington Camp #523 has approximately 40 members and has been involved in helping to preserve Washington Headquarters in Valley Forge Park, PA; saving the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia, PA; presenting hundreds of United States flags to schools and churches throughout the Delaware Valley.
Each year on Veterans Day, Washington Camp # 523 sponsors the William Hummer Veterans Day Essays at the Arcola Intermediate School in Eagleville, PA. This year we just completed our 30th year sponsoring the essays. The William Hummer Patriotism and American History Scholarships are held each year at Methacton and Norristown High Schools.
The Patriotic Order Sons of America was organized on December 10, 1847 by Dr. Reynell Coates of Philadelphia, PA to preserve the Public School System, The Constitution of the United States, and our American way of life. It was incorporated by an Act of the Pennsylvania State Legislature on February 27, 1867.
